Allegheny Health Network Breaks Ground For Cancer Institute in Center Township

State Representative Jim Christiana made his thoughts about cancer bluntly on Wednesday morning:

 

He, along with several other county dignitaries and doctors, greeted and broke ground with the Allegheny Health Network on a new Cancer Institute to be built on Wagner Road in Center Township near the Beaver Valley Mall. The $20 million facility is set to feature state-of-the-art technology and world-class cancer care, so stated AHN Chair of the Cancer Institute:

 

The AHN Cancer Institute of Beaver County, expected to open up in 2019, is also expected to bring an economic boost to Beaver County, one that State Representative Jim Marshall is happy about:

 

County Commissioner Dan Camp also spoke at the groundbreaking, agreeing that the facility will bring jobs to the county, but that the most important aspect will affect the county’s citizens who are suffering:

 

Also in attendance were fellow commissioners Tony Amadio and Sandie Egley, former commissioner Joe Spanik, and Chamber of Commerce Director Jack Manning.

Tune into Teleforum with Frank Sparks on Wednesday May 30, 2018 for Day 7 of “Radio Dial Rewind” from 9 a.m. to noon.

Frank will start the morning out with Tom Stein at 9:10 a.m. who got his start at WBVP in the 1980s as a newscaster, including being the host of the “Afternoon Update” report. Since then, he’s appeared on Beaver County Radio from time to time, and Wednesday will be another of those times as he reminisces about his time in the newsroom during the end of the Reagan decade.

 

 

At 10:10 a.m. Frank will be joined by The last living member of the original WBVP staff of 1948, Alan Boal. Alan will reflect on the first days of WBVP . Alan was working with legends such as Chuck Wilson and Gert Trobe.

 

 

 

 

At 11:10 a.m. Frank will be joined by Jimi Miller. Before getting behind the drumset to play for bands such as The Dream Machine and The Sidewinder band, Jimi Miller got his rockstar start behind the microphone at WMBA. He (pictured in between wife Dena and Frank Sparks) returns to the Beaver County Radio airwaves in honor of our 70th Anniversary to chat with Frank.

And then we’ll finish up our second to last day of Radio Dial Rewind with Carl Anderson at 11:40 a.m.. In the late 80s and early 90s, Anderson was a key member on the staff at WBVP & WWKS. He comes back to talk about his time at the Beaver Falls stations this week as part celebrating our 70th Anniversary in 2018.
